Woweee! I see some gorgeous stitching and finishing here. I'm so glad you received my goodie even though I got the address wrong. I'm such a dunderhead sometimes (small smack to the forehead). Happy belated mother's day to you!

OH pretty stitches. I had wanted those bunny scissors but in red and you couldn't specify your order so they were pink and I gave them to a friend!Loving your new camera, I should take a camera walk day and learn to use my husbands camera.

What a great post Mouse!! Love every bit of it! Your new skills are fantastic and I'm thinking of trying out a box finish too!! Great RAKs received and stitched. Bentley looks so regal in the first photo then like a complete kooky munchkin in the next few!! Hugs to him and to you!!!!

Squeak! Squeak! (I've been studying Mouse since you've been absent ... lol!) Okay ... lovely photos! So many lovely things stitched by you & others. One of these days I will start stitching again. I'm still in the throes of stitching PTSD. Glad all is well!

Oh such a wonderful post. You are greatly loved. Such beautiful and thoughtful gifts you received. Your stitching and finishes are soo pretty. You have a been a very busy mouse. And in "spot the hare" - Is its ears peeking behind the trunk of the tree? And happy birthday again to you:) love Annette

Such a lovely post to read Mouse. You have been busy with needle and thread, the ORT jar is filling up nicely.Have fun in Bakewell, will you be visiting Wye Needlecraft whilst there? Such beauties your postie has delivered to you and flowers in the tea cup are blooming gorgeous.
